An expansion deck system for vessels includes an elongated deck body that is pivotally secured to a vessel by a plurality of hinges. The deck body transitions between a folded position that does not affect the overall width of the vessel, and an expanded position that extends outward from the side of the vessel. A plurality of triangular-shaped braces is removably secured to the bottom surface of the deck body. The braces including a first section that extends along an entire width of the deck body and a second section that engages a pontoon of the vessel. An electromechanical bracing unit is positioned along the bottom surface of the vessel and includes a linear actuator that moves an elongated rod between an extended and retracted position, and A power lifting unit transitions the deck body between the folded and extended positions.
